The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 71 Harry can subdue Voldemort, so you come and subdue me?

Harry and Ron were just two ordinary little wizards, and even a bit silly.

But Andy Collins is different.

If there's one young wizard in Hogwarts history who could give Dumbledore a headache since Tom Riddle graduated, it would undoubtedly be Andy Collins.

With nearly a century of teaching experience, Dumbledore could almost instantly discern a young wizard's talent and future potential.

Hogwarts has never lacked geniuses.

Snape, standing before me, is a genius, and his contemporaries Sirius Black and James Potter are also exceptionally talented in magic.

Even now, Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff School is an exceptionally talented young wizard.

But they can never become wizards like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or Voldemort, who stand at the pinnacle of the wizarding world.

There's no other reason than that their mindsets are different.

That night, Dumbledore met Andy for the first time, and he immediately realized that Andy wanted to surpass him.

Having such thoughts is not scary; what is scary is that he also has such talent and the ability to act on them.

Andy was the most mature young wizard Dumbledore had ever seen. He had excellent comprehension and learning abilities, clear goals, and worked hard to achieve them.

Dumbledore knew perfectly well that Andy was simply interested in magic.

Aside from that, there are very few things that Andy cares about.

This is a dangerous sign.

If you don't care, you won't cherish it.

Moreover, black magic often doesn't reason with you. When you study black magic, it can inadvertently lead you into the abyss.

Dumbledore also had to be wary of such a young wizard.

Especially since this little wizard is always causing trouble.

Snape glanced at the signature on the envelope without hesitation, then looked at Dumbledore's expression and said sarcastically, "The greatest white wizard of this century is troubled by a first-year student?"

"Perhaps people become more cautious as they get older!" Dumbledore said calmly, then opened the envelope and began to read.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Dumbledore's expression became extremely interesting.

You're here again?

Last time, Dumbledore had a well-thought-out plan: he wanted Harry to confront Voldemort directly, thereby forging Harry's courage and faith. He also wanted to observe whether the protective magic on Harry was still effective against Voldemort.

As a result, Andy turned around and kicked Quirrell out of Hogwarts.

This time, Dumbledore managed to get everything back on track with great difficulty, and even the plan was just being formulated.

As a result, Andy betrayed him again.

Last time they used Malfoy, this time they've directly dragged Harry and Ron into it.

Harry can subdue Voldemort, so you'll have to subdue me, right?

What prediction will Trelawney make this time?

Two people, only one can live, and one must kill the other?

"What did he say?" Snape asked, somewhat gleefully.

Although Snape was still unclear about what had happened, he knew from Dumbledore's expression that Andy must have done something big again.

Maybe I won't need to drink the euphoric drug when I get home today.

"See for yourself!"

Dumbledore gave Ron and Andy's letters to Snape, while he put Harry's letter in a drawer.

Snape took the letter.

He glanced at Andy's letter, then at Dumbledore. "It seems the one being expelled from the school this time might be the greatest headmaster in Hogwarts' history."

Snape was in a great mood.

After reading Andy's letter, Snape glanced at Ron's letter.

He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, after all, Ron was just a foolish lion and not worth worrying about.

As a result, this foolish lion actually dared to stab him in the back!

What does it mean that Snape sneaked into the fourth-floor corridor?

I went there openly and honestly!

What does it mean that Snape wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone?

I do have some ideas, but I haven't taken any action yet!

What does it mean that Snape attacked Malfoy?

That's my old friend's son, how can you pin this on me?

What do you mean Snape still wants to attack you, Harry, and Andy?

Hmm... okay, I do want to attack you now, and that's not entirely unfounded.

Snape crumpled the parchment into a ball; it seemed he had been too lenient with Gryffindor before.

Dumbledore rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

It has to be said that Andy did cause him some trouble.

Whatever Dumbledore's original intentions, while bringing the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts, he also brought danger into the school.

There's no way to deny it.

And it was indeed Quirrell who attacked Malfoy.

In this respect, Dumbledore does bear some responsibility.

If we also consider his position as the school principal, the responsibility is even greater; it could even be said that he is irresponsible for the safety of all the young wizards in the school.

But as the saying goes, a kind heart cannot command an army.

If Dumbledore hadn't done this, Voldemort would have posed an even greater threat to the wizarding world when he was resurrected.

Dumbledore had to ensure that, between Harry and Voldemort, the one who died had to be Voldemort.

"What are you planning to do?" Snape asked.

Although he was secretly gloating, Snape knew that this matter had to be resolved.

Because Andy got involved with Harry Potter.

If Harry comes to believe that Dumbledore knowingly left the Philosopher's Stone at Hogwarts despite its danger, how will Harry view Dumbledore when Quirrell actually attacks a young wizard?

That's the trickiest part of the whole thing.

As for Andy…

Dumbledore and Snape both knew very well that Andy wouldn't actually do anything.

Before Dumbledore could answer, Snape asked again, "Why did he do that?"

Snape still couldn't understand why Dumbledore would pay attention to a first-year wizard.

Harry Potter is one thing, since he was involved in prophecies related to Voldemort.

But what about Andy?

Snape admitted that Andy was indeed very talented and worked very hard, but so what?

Am I, Severus Snape, not talented enough, or unwilling to work hard?

You never cared about me this much when I was in school!

On what grounds?

Snape was somewhat indignant.

If Dumbledore had paid as much attention to him as he did to Andy when he was engrossed in studying dark magic, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out that way for him and Lily.

Maybe they even have children by now.

Harry Snape?

Pooh!

If I, Snape, had a child, I would never name him Harry. What a load of rubbish!

"It seems we need to have a serious talk with Mr. Collins."

Dumbledore said calmly, "Severus, I have the same question as you."
